Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday at the Gadsden Public Library.

The EITC is a tax credit for low- and moderate-income taxpayers making less than $50,270.

Credits of up to $5,000 may be available depending on income and number of dependents.

Tax preparers from the Retired Senior and Volunteer Program will be available at the library to prepare income tax returns, and a representative from the Internal Revenue Service also will be available to discuss the EITC.

Several agencies, including the Family Success Center, 211 First Call for Help and the Council on Aging, also will be participating.
